If the door size and opening size are not correct STOP!

Depending on which is not correct, you may need to order a new door or adjust your opening. Step 3 – (Removing Existing Door):

1) Remove the interior trim from around the old door. 2) Remove the siding from around the out side the old door. 3) Remove the panels of the old door. 4) Remove the frame of the old door.

Refer to our online Tech Center at www.associatedmaterials.net for an instructional video on how to remove an old patio door. Step 4 – (Prepping Door Opening): NOTE: The rough opening is critical to the proper installation and operation of the patio door. If the rough opening is too small or large this door will not install or operate properly. A level Sill is critical in the operation and performance of this door.

1) Clean debris from opening. 2) Check the sill for level. 3) Use floor leveling compound or shims to ensure a flat and level surface.

Step 5 – (Installing Door Frame):

Trouble Shooting Guide

Unable to insert Active Panel Check vertical opening at the jambs and compare them to the vertical opening at the center. They should be the same, if not readjust the frame and shim as needed. Door panel will not move easily. Check to see if rollers are centered over the roller track. If not, lift sash panel and move in or out to get the roller over the roller track. Clean and lubricate roller track. Remove active sash panel and check to see if rollers are rolling. If not, free rollers with silicone lubricant and reinsert the active panel. Loosen roller mounting screws by ½ turn to allow rollers to self align on roller track. Adjust roller height. See page 16 – Step 18 – (Adjusting Rollers) Screen does not move easily. Check to see if rollers are centered over the roller track. If not, lift screen and move in or out to get the roller over the roller track. Remove screen panel and check to see if rollers are rolling. If not, free rollers with silicone lubricant and reinsert the screen. Clean and lubricate screen roller track. Adjust screen roller height. See instructions supplied with screen. Door will not lock. Check to see if door is installed plumb, level and square in the opening. If not, readjust the frame shims. Check the Roller Adjustment - Is the Active Panel parallel to Jamb? See page 16 – Step 18 – (Adjusting Rollers) Check the throw on the lock fingers – See page 19 - Step 21 (Handle Installation) Check the Keeper vertical alignment to the Lock – See Page 18 – Step 20 (Keeper Installation) Air leakage between door panels Check to see if the operating panel is adjusted too high and doesn’t contact the fuzzy pad on the sill. If so, adjust rollers down until the interlock contacts the fuzzy pad. Fuzzy pads must contact the bottom and top of the interlocks for the full width of the interlock. Adjust rollers to get both panels parallel at the interlocks and consistent bulb contact top to bottom. Make sure there are no obstructions keeping the fixed panel from being fully seated into the jamb. No installation screws are allowed in the exterior fixed panel track of the frame. The fixed panel not being fully seated in the jamb will cause poor bulb seal contact at the center of the door panel. Make sure side jambs are not bowed inward. This will cause poor bulb contact at the interlocks.
